- Around line 1392-1410: Update the RTA_GATEWAY and RTA_PREFSRC handling to
reject values shorter than the required family width before assigning route.Gw
or route.Src, while retaining truncation of oversized values. In the RTA_DST
handling, allocate an expectedLen-sized IP value and call net.CIDRMask with
8*expectedLen rather than the payload length, ensuring short attributes cannot
produce an IPNet with a nil mask.

Resolves buffer aliasing in deserializeRoute() that can cause corrupted IP addresses when netlink attributes contain oversized Len fields.
Root Cause: deserializeRoute() assigned byte slices from the netlink message buffer directly to route addresses. When RTA_DST, RTA_GATEWAY, or RTA_PREFSRC attributes contain oversized length fields, the resulting slices can include bytes beyond the expected IP address length and incorporate adjacent buffer data.
Solution:
Validate address attributes against the expected length for their address family.
Clamp oversized address data to 4 bytes for IPv4 or 16 bytes for IPv6.
Copy the validated address data into new allocations to avoid retaining references to the netlink message buffer.
Prevent corrupted route information from propagating to callers.
Impact: This issue was observed downstream in Cilium issue #47956, where corrupted route destination CIDRs caused iptables rule reconciliation to fail. In the reported case, bytes corresponding to the egress interface name were interpreted as an IPv4 address.
Testing: Added regression coverage for malformed netlink messages with oversized route-address attributes and verified that IPv4/IPv6 route addresses are constrained to the expected lengths. Normal netlink messages remain unaffected.
